All ABOs and Members may purchase products directly from Amway.

Commission Payment
Commission will be paid directly to all ABOs who have earned them during the calendar month. Payments will be paid directly into their bank account on file with Amway, via an electronic bank transfer.

how to start

To register as an ABO, contact the existing ABO who introduced you to the Amway business opportunity and/or products. If you do not have contact with an existing ABO you can call our Amway Online Help Desk on 0800 203 772 or email us on infocentre.zaf@amway.com. Our operators will forward your contact information to one of our ABO’s in or around your area. You can also ask the operator for information on becoming on ABO.

To become a duly authorised ABO capable of distributing Amway products and services and sponsoring others, an applicant must complete, sign and submit the Amway Business Owner Registration Form with a compulsory first order to the value of 20 PV or more.

Once your Amway Business Owner Registration Form has been processed, you will receive a welcome email, which includes all relevant information to begin your Amway journey.

Cost of Starter Kit
The Start-Up Pack consists of literature only and the new ABO must purchase any product to the value of 20 Personal Volume (PV).

Namibia/Botswana
Same registration and ordering procedure applies.

Business Type

A – Amway Business Owner (ABO)
This is the business builder, eligible to register other Amway Business Owners and Members, distribute Amway products, receive Performance Volume Commissions and take advantage of all of the benefits of owning an Amway business.

M – Member
Members will enjoy a variety of benefits such as products and services at ABO price, special offers and purchase incentives. A Member cannot distribute Amway products, register others, and will not receive Performance Volume and related Commissions. Members also have to complete an Amway Member registration application form.

Establish a Second Business

International Sponsoring
International sponsoring is always an option and an excellent means of expanding your business while avoiding many of the costs and complexities associated with establishing a second business. Please note: For those markets where foreigners are able to establish a second business, they must be the international sponsor of their second business in another country.

Establishment of a second business involves complex business and legal issues. Amway Business Owners should always contact the affiliate prior to attempting to establish a second business.

Are there any requirements for establishing a Multiple Business in another market?

In order to establish a Multiple Business in another market, an ABO must be at least at Qualified Platinum level in an Amway market. An ABO residing outside of his/her home market may be exempt from the current Qualified Platinum requirement if the ABO can provide proof of residency and is eligible to own and operate an Amway business in the target international market.
